TENDERS WILL BE RECEIVED at this Office on or before Saturday, the 28th instant, from persons willing to contract for the conveyance of the Mails to and from Wanganui and Wellington during the twelve months ending the 31st May, 1850 (leaving bags at any required places on the line of Post). The Mail must pass once each way every week: and the Mail from Wanganui must be delivered at Wellington always one clear day before the next Mail from Wellington starts.

Government will, as at present, provide for the passage of the Mail on the Mail days across the rivers where ferries are established—free of expense to the Contractor.

The Contractor will be required to state the mode of conveyance he proposes to adopt, and the period within which the transit each way will be accomplished.

The contract will commence on the first of June next, and securities will be required for its due performance. The Government does not bind itself to accept the lowest tender.
